I would generally consider myself "pretty good", if you ever want to play with me I'd be happy to do so. I'm also a skilled map and custom game maker, and I'm working on making some machinima, including an original series.
AH but that's where your wrong it can easily be argued the other way. Though i respect the BR and i DO know how to use it, I think that it is NOT the fix all weapon, and the fact that it has been used in place of the Assault Rifle bugs me.
-1. The fact that the BR only fires exclusively in 3 round bursts is annoying (why can't you change it single shot or full auto functions?)
2-The simple fact is that the BR is overused in online multiplayer, it is NOT the weapon well suited to all forms of combat. (close quarters especially)i would prefer an SMG or AR to a BR in close quarters 95 out of a hundred times (and believe me, the people who make the mistake of using it up close end up filled with bullets...)
3.It doesn't really take large amounts of skill to use a BR - it fires dead accurately in a 3 round burst....so yeah...ALL you have to do is shoot some guy in the face a few times and their dead, no skill involved. Many times in Matchmaking the BR is used to pick off an unsuspecting player, or already engaged player which could be described as cowardly, nooby, or just plain annoying.
4.-in small maps (which almost 80% of Halo 3's maps are in fact Close quarters maps) The BR allows players to kill anyone within their sight lines, often within seconds of a match starting... SPAWN KILLING!!
5. In team games if two or more people with battle rifles are attacking you, there is no way you can kill them which is very unfair. For instance in a 2 on one situation where your opponents are using BRS and know how to use them there is no way you can kill them....
6.The BR should NOT be commonplace in small maps such as Guardian, Blackout, Assembly, or Heretic, as it allows for players to simply spawn camp, which is very frustrating.
7. The BR is a joy to use in campaign and in large maps, but i do believe it is overrated and is hardly the weapon of skill...You want a skill weapon? try a Magnum...I love "out BRing" people with my pitiful little M6G magnum..Now that takes skill. As it is a slow firing, single shot, has a relatively small clip capacity, and can be difficult to aim (no scopes lol...)
I prefer the AR even though it has been downgraded from Halo CE, (smaller magazine, ammo capacity, reduced fire rate, and reduced accuracy because.
1. It almost ALWAYS win close to medium range battles even against BRS...It can be fired very accurately when fired in bursts, and can open up to full auto at closer ranges.
2. The fire and beat down combo is a joy to use and works very well.
3. The assault rifle looks awesome and is a classic.
4.It is very powerful against armor and exposed flesh.
5.I can more or less fire it in single, bursts or full auto.
6. It is a fairer more balanced weapon for closer range maps.
7. When multi-teamed by people with assault rifles you are not ALWAYS doomed to die.
8.Arguably the Assault rifle is much more of a skill weapon because: it can be argued as weaker, less accurate, less range, has been toned down to be fit as a starter weapon, reduced clip size, no special site or scope. If one can use this basic weapon and outperform "higer tech" weapons one could say that it requires far more skill.
